Greetings. I have trouble launching the game. This is Steam version and it crashes right after I start it. Here are specs of my laptop: Processor Information: Vendor: GenuineIntel CPU Family: 0x6 CPU Model: 0x3a CPU Stepping: 0x9 CPU Type: 0x0 Speed: 2294 Mhz 8 logical processors 4 physical processors HyperThreading: Supported FCMOV: Supported SSE2: Supported SSE3: Supported SSSE3: Supported SSE4a: Unsupported SSE41: Supported SSE42: Supported Operating System Version: Windows 7 (64 bit) NTFS: Supported Crypto Provider Codes: Supported 311 0x0 0x0 0x0 Video Card: Driver: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M DirectX Driver Name: nvumdshim.dll Driver Version: 9.18.13.3788 DirectX Driver Version: 9.18.13.3788 Driver Date: 19 May 2014 OpenGL Version: 4.4 Desktop Color Depth: 32 bits per pixel Monitor Refresh Rate: 59 Hz DirectX Card: NVIDIA GeForce GTX 660M VendorID: 0x10de DeviceID: 0xfd4 Number of Monitors: 1 Number of Logical Video Cards: 1 No SLI or Crossfire Detected Primary Display Resolution: 1366 x 768 Desktop Resolution: 1366 x 768 Primary Display Size: 18.98" x 10.67" (21.73" diag) 48.2cm x 27.1cm (55.2cm diag) Primary Bus: PCI Express 16x Primary VRAM: 2047 MB Supported MSAA Modes: 2x 4x 8x Memory: RAM: 8094 Mb All logs from %AppData% are also uploaded. Thank you in advance for your help.
Hey can you attack a dxdiag please. I see you have given is some information but a dxdiag is better. Sometimes with laptops the game will try use integrated graphics as default instead of your 660m.
No problem, I attacked DxDiag. He hit me back )). File is attached. To the second part I actually launch the game with the main 660m Graphics Card.
Hey, just had a quick look and can't see you 660m card on the dxdiag. Unless I'm blind I'm sure this is the problem. I will let @SXX know about this. He is crazy good with this kind of stuff. The integrated hd 4000 will work if you update the drivers as a temporary solution.
Today after the game didn't lanch at first time I updated the videodriver to the last non-beta version which is I think 337.88. All other games seem to work just fine.
Sorry maybe I'm not being so clear. When you run pa, it is using your hd4000 card. This is not up to date. Drivers from that are from 2012. If you update that driver you will b able to play pa. The game using integrated graphics by default and you have to manually configure your drivers to run game on discrete Nvidia GPU. Check "Laptops and hybrid graphics" section on this page: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/864980278116578701/ You'll also need to update both Intel: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&DwnldID=23714 To update drivers download and install "win64_153318.exe" from Intel website: And Nvidia drivers: http://www.nvidia.com/download/driverResults.aspx/73784/en-us
The trick is that you can right click the PA.exe and choose an option there something like Launch with graphical processor. I chose my 660m there. Still it crashes. And I will write again after i update ALL THE STUFFF ))
Updated everything. AAAAAAAnd crash. Checked the error screen. It said something like this Problem signature: Имя события проблемы(Event name): APPCRASH Имя приложения(Application name): pa.exe Версия приложения(Application version): 0.0.0.0 Отметка времени приложения(Application time mark): 53a0a904 Имя модуля с ошибкой(Error module): twitchsdk_64_release.dll Версия модуля с ошибкой(Module version): 0.0.0.0 Отметка времени модуля с ошибкой(Module time mark): 537f9993 Код исключения(Exceprion key): c0000005 Смещение исключения(Exception displacement): 00000000000b33e0 Версия ОС(Operating system version): 6.1.7601.2.1.0.256.1 Код языка(Language code): 1049 Дополнительные сведения 1(Additional info): 2b3c Дополнительные сведения 2(Additional info): 2b3cb950833e8b9d5b4970e24cfe5b1d Дополнительные сведения 3(Additional info): 3bd2 Дополнительные сведения 4(Additional info): 3bd26ffd642e58063260ee9e3883ace8 Translated everything as precisely as I could. Tryed to link a screenshot but forum does not allow me to do it. What is Twich SDK? I have this dll in my folder. Any Ideas?
Here is new DxDiag. Still it ignores my 660m. I use standart connection provider->stuff->fiberglass->router->wifi->Me.
First of all drivers for Intel HD4000 still old: Code: Card name: Intel(R) HD Graphics 4000 Driver Version: 10.18.10.3496 Driver Date/Size: 3/7/2014 09:21:58, 26168168 bytes To update drivers download and install "Win64_153322.exe" from Intel website: https://downloadcenter.intel.com/Detail_Desc.aspx?agr=Y&ProdId=3712&DwnldID=23885 If you get "not validated for this computer" error download ZIP version of driver ("Win64_153322.zip") from same page and then install it using this instruction: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/558749190911446231/
Could it be characters? Make sure path to game installation directory don't contain any non-English characters. Like the 2 letters after Alex- in your computer name.
I already updated my driver second time. Path is like this. D:\Program Files\Steam\SteamApps\common\Planetary Annihilation\bin_x64
As far as I understand PA don't have problems with characters, Coherent do, but this is looks like PA crash.
I'm 99% sure what caused your crash. You have Lenovo laptop: Code: System Model: Lenovo IdeaPad Y580 BIOS: InsydeH2O Version 03.71.515DCN36WW(V2.03) Processor: Intel(R) Core(TM) i7-3610QM CPU @ 2.30GHz (8 CPUs), ~2.3GHz Most likely you have software installed called "One Key Theater" which cause this crash. Disable/remove it and game will work. I'm helped this guy to find out about exactly same problem: http://steamcommunity.com/app/233250/discussions/2/540744935726928401/
